Back to the Beach - Noosa


We're here almost a week, Adam comes to visit as well, and we might stay a bit more. It's beautiful, and relaxing. Vernon takes us to the boat club and we go sailing - we LOVE it. We don't realize until we are there that we are speed sailing, and the boat Vernon and I are on win the afternoon race. We recieve a bottle of wine, the Captain - Peter, wants us to have it. The next day Alison & I go sea kayaking, we are very adventourous. It's us, a guide and one other couple. We are prepared to kayak in the river, we're not so sure about the ocean. The ocean is very choppy at times, but we paddle, watch surfers, and try not to roll our kayak. The guide complements us on our paddling skills (or at least Alison's, I try not to freeze when waves come) Alison might kill me but we make it through, two hours later we are done, and soaked. We go home and prep to cook dinner.

Ali and Rachel,

I love reading your blog. It takes me to a vacation spot in my head while life is going crazy around me. Enjoy your adventures and keep us posted when you get a chance. Keep doing fun stuff for all of us to read about. Bob is a bit on edge about his job at Bear Stearns, but we'll be fine.

Love,
Aunt Lisa and family
